On the surface you want to run and hide from this movie. I generally dig Sandra Bullock a lot. She’s likeable, attractive, and has been in some good things. At the same time she has been in a lot of stuff a 20-something dude wouldn’t want to see in the least bit. When she pops up in things I’ve gotten to the point that I automatically think it’s going to suck. I’m happy to say that I’m optimistic about this one. Bullock stars with the always hilarious Melissa McCarthy in this buddy cop movie. It does seem a bit formulaic and has that whole “we’re so different!” thing that partners always have in cop movies like this. That doesn’t mean it’s going to suck or anything, but it puts up a warning sign. Then that goes away when you find out that Paul Feig is directing it, the dude who did “Bridesmaids”. The supporting cast is rounded out by Marlon Wayans and Michael Rapaport so that’s a plus too. I dunno. I want to see this movie, but I’m going to try to keep my expectations reserved. That might end up to my benefit. Regardless, I’m optimistic this will be in the least good mild fun. If it’s more than that, I win!
